If you program these settings using one of the units, you do not need to program the same
item using another unit.
This menu is not displayed when scrolling through the display menus. It is only available in
direct command code.
This feature allows the unit to automatically adjust the date and time each time caller
information including date and time is received.
To turn this feature on, select “Caller ID auto”. To turn this feature off, select
“Manual”. (Caller ID subscribers only)
To use this feature, set the date and time first (page 14).
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (such as IDENTA-RING), select a tone (tone 1 to
3). If you select a melody, you cannot distinguish lines by their ringers.
If you select one of the melody ringer tones, it will continue to play for several seconds even
if the caller has already hung up. You may either hear a dial tone or no one on the line when
you answer the call.
The preset melodies in this product are used with permission of © 2009 Copyrights Vision
Inc.
Turn this feature off if you prefer not to hear key tones while you are dialing or pressing any
keys, including confirmation tones and error tones.
If you subscribe to a Caller ID service and want to view the caller’s information after lifting up
the handset to answer a call, turn off this feature.
The flash time depends on your telephone exchange or host PBX. Contact your PBX
supplier if necessary. The setting should stay at “700 ms” unless pressing MFLASHN fails to
pick up the waiting call.
Generally, the line mode setting should not be changed. This setting automatically maintains
receiver volume at the proper level depending on the current telephone line condition. Set
the line mode to “A” if telephone line condition is not good.
This setting is available when you have the key detector (KX-TGA20). Read the installation
guide for more information on the key detector.
For models with supplied key detectors, the display shows “1: Detector1”.
If you register 2 or more key detectors.
If you have 2 or more key detectors.

area code and format of the edited number.
The next time someone calls from the same
area code, caller information is customized by
the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the Caller
ID number is displayed in the same format
as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s phone
number is displayed in the same format as
the edited number, when reviewed from the
caller list.
For example, you can use this feature to set
the unit to ignore the area code of callers in
your area, so that you can call these local
numbers using caller information without
dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an entry
in the caller list, then call that number. After
that, phone numbers from that caller’s area
code are edited automatically.
This feature can be set for each unit (page 29,
31). The default setting is “On”.
Note:
R Phone numbers from the 4 most recently
edited area codes are automatically edited.

selecting “Greeting only” as the recording
time setting (page 46).
Important:
R Only 1 person can access the answering

R When callers leave messages, the unit
records the day and time of each message.
Make sure the date and time have been set
correctly (page 14).
Memory capacity (including your
greeting message)
The total recording capacity is about 18
minutes. A maximum of 64 messages can be
recorded.
Note:
R When message memory becomes full:
– “Messages full” is shown on the
handset and base unit display.
– The ANSWER ON/OFF indicator on the
base unit flashes rapidly if the answering
system is turned on.
– If you use the pre-recorded greeting
message, the unit automatically switches

R To use this unit’s answering system rather
than the voice mail service provided by
your service provider/telephone company,
please contact your service provider/
telephone company to deactivate your
voice mail service.
If your service provider/telephone company
cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “Ring count” setting so
that this unit’s answering system
answers calls before the voice mail

telephone company does. It is necessary
to check the number of rings required to
activate the voice mail service provided
by your service provider/telephone
company before changing this setting.
– Change the number of rings of the voice
mail service so that the answering
system can answer the call first. To do
so, contact your service provider/
telephone company.
Note:
R When you select “Greeting only”:
– If you do not record your own message,

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST
CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to
the dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late
evenings.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this phone.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate this device.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is
58
encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or
prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the
cordless telephone further away from the TV
or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate
interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
L This product complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
L To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, the base unit must be
installed and operated 20 cm (8 inches)
or more between the product and all
person’s body (excluding extremities of
hands, wrist and feet).
L This product may not be collocated or
operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
L The handset may be carried and operated
with only the specific provided belt-clip.
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar
body-worn accessories may not comply
and must be avoided.
